r12a has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/uievents as 
"i18n-comment":

== Use U+ notation to refer to code points ==
Applies to uievents, uievents-key and uievents-code specs.

Given the reasons enumerated in 
https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/240 that javascript 
escapes are not great for representing code point values, why you are 
using that notation (eg. \u003D) to identify code points rather than 
the standard notation (eg. U+003D)?

Using the U+ makes it easier to refer in the specs to a character such
 as 𣧂 or to emoji - ie. you would write U+239C2 rather than the 
completely unhelpful \uD84E\uDDC2.

We propose you change this notation throughout the three specs.
